A captivating carnelian drop carved with luscious peonies hangs from a chain of enameled gold links in this absolutely outstanding art deco necklace! Anchoring this magnificent piece is a stunning, flat carnelian stone that boasts tomato red to the lightest peach hues. It is deeply carved with spectacular detail and paired with a matching stone from which it hangs. Elegantly elongated hexagonal links, delineated in quintessential art deco fashion and adorned with geometric enamel shapes, connect to the carnelian drops and create a dramatic chain. Oversized gold rings alternate with the decorative links, perfectly balancing the softer lines of the oval carnelian plaques. The glowing carnelian is beautifully complemented by the rich red enamel in the dynamic links, and perfectly contrasted by the green and black enamel throughout. Every detail is as alluring and unique as the next – their unexpected combination works wonderfully to create a piece that feel completely original yet so true to the art deco aesthetic of the period. This rare marvel was made around 1930 and remains an exciting and extraordinary treasure nearly a century later!
